This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Honest

I say he's honest because he didn't automatically tell me I had to hire him to answer a question that's public knowledge but still I needed verified. I will be hiring him once I get finances. Thank you Mr. Smith for not brushing my off. You made a world of difference, God will bless you for helping ...a widow and her fatherless children.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
